proved the utter absurtlity of the claims OF
the Performers When the meeting was
called TO order, they found that Gov. nc
Fncrys supporters we're in an Overwhelming
malorlty-the lowest estimate being four to

McEnery is the only Governor that we have
had s'nGe the war who had ever found out
that hell's near cut to North Louisiana was
only man who has ever made any attempt to
prevent it. The partial exemption from
overflow that we have had, and the promises
of further protection is due to the iIstrn-
mentality OF Gov. McEnery, and had its orr
gin in the call OF that levee, convention in
1888; and he is entitled to the gratitude of
trict.

reason that have been very intimate with

he has given his personal attention To every

government has been q very personal one.
don't approve OF Nichols administration
personally, because his wasn't personal
government.
While there was law authorizing the es-
Enlistment of Soldiers Home passed In
1867, no attention was paid to it until Nc
Emery got to be Governor. Through his
earnest appeals iii its behalf in his messages
made for 1t, and it is now in a Hourishing
condition: not an asylum, but home for
the disabled Confederate soldier.

There have been fifty-seven miles of levees
